Overriding template path in update command

[jamesrosling]

Hi!

I'm having some issues in getting the cruft update command to work for a repository that needs credentials to be included in the template url to enable the repository to be cloned. The command will be called through a Backstage action class rather than the cli.

We're trying to use cruft to update project repos created with cruft, and the cruft update command is using the template url found in the .cruft.json file. We need to override this with the url containing auth credentials, as for security reasons this can't be a static value in the codebase.

Is there a way to have an input parameter in update to allow us to pass a new template url, or some way to override this template url without doing our own implementation of the update step?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
